"I had taken the custodial death of a Maoist cadre in a police station in Bihar's Aurangabad district earlier month and sent a team of officials from the police headquarters there to probe the incident," he told reporters.

The police officials were probing the alleged custodial death case and the guilty cops will not be spared, Kumar said.

A Maoist sub-zonal commander Madan Yadav alias Dineshji had died in police custody at Barun police station on June seven last allegedly due to severe beating by the policemen a day after he was arrested by Aurangabad and Gaya district police in a joint operation from Jogia village under Tanwa police station in Gaya district.

The Chief Minister had ordered a probe by the IG (Headquarters) and IG (Prison) in the custodial death and directed them to find out whether the ultra was treated properly in police lock up as per guidelines of the NHRC.
